DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments of the present disclosure include semiconductor devices that reduce the likelihood of short channel effects in a circuit. For example, a resistor is described that includes a well region divided into two parts by a buried insulating layer and a semiconductor layer epitaxially grown from a silicon substrate. The semiconductor layer may include materials of the same conductivity type as the N well region.

According to an example embodiment, the resistor may be formed simultaneously with a Multi-Bridge Channel Field Effect Transistor (MBCFET). In this case, the multi-bridge channel structure is also applied to the resistor the manufacturing stage of the MBCFET. Additionally, in MBCFET, the width of the channel can be arbitrarily changed. Therefore, a resistor having different resistances can be implemented according to the width of the channel.

FIG. 1 is a layout of a semiconductor device according to an example embodiment of inventive concepts. FIGS. 2A-2D are vertical cross-sectional views of the semiconductor device of FIG. 1, taken along line I-I′, II-II′, III-III′ and IV-IV′, respectively.

In FIG. 2B, the channel layer 114 in the form of a nanosheet with a rectangular cross-section is illustrated but is not limited thereto. In an example embodiment, the cross-section of the channel layer 114 may be circular or elliptical. Each channel layer 114 may have a predetermined length along the first horizontal direction D1 and the second horizontal direction D2. In an example embodiment, the channel layer 114 may include one or more of a group IV semiconductor such as Si, Ge, SiGe or a group III-V compound semiconductor such as InGaAs, InAs, GaSb, InSb, or the like.

The device isolation layer 120 may fill the inside of a first trench T1 formed on the substrate 102. The device isolation layer 120 may be disposed between the plurality of active regions 104 and may extend in the first horizontal direction D1. The buried insulating layer 122 may fill the inside of a second trench T2 formed on the substrate 102. The buried insulating layer 122 may be disposed in the middle of the plurality of active regions 104. The second trench T2 may be formed deeper than the first trench T1. The buried insulating layer 122 may not penetrate the N well region NW. For example, the N well region NW may surround a bottom surface of the buried insulating layer 122. A top surface of the active region 104 may be located at a similar level as top surfaces of the device isolation layer 120 and the buried insulating layer 122, respectively. In an example embodiment, device isolation layer 120 and buried insulating layer 122 may comprise silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or a low dielectric constant (low-K) dielectric material.

The inner spacers 142 may electrically separate the gate electrode 134 from the doped region 150 or the source/drain region 152. In an example embodiment, the inner spacers 142 may comprise a silicon nitride material.

The doped region 150 may be disposed on the active region 104 of the resistor region R1 and may be disposed on the side of the gate electrode 134.

The doped region 150 may be in contact with the N well region NW. The doped region 150 may be doped with the same type of conductive material as the N well region NW. For example, the doped region 150 may include n-type impurities. In an example embodiment, the doped region 150 may include an n-type impurity with a higher concentration than the N well region NW. Since the doped region 150 is doped with the same type of conductive material as the N well region NW, the resistor 106 may not function as a transistor. The first doped region 150 a may be electrically connected to the second doped region 150 b through first active region 104 a, the N well region NW, and the second active region 104 b.

The source/drain region 152 may be disposed on the active region 104 of the transistor region R2 and may be disposed on a side of the gate electrode 134.

The contact plug 180 may extend in the second horizontal direction D2 and may have a bar shape. Additionally, the contact plug 180 may be electrically connected to the doped region 150 or the source/drain region 152. A silicide layer 182 may be further disposed below the contact plug 180. Additionally, the silicide layer 182 may be disposed between the doped region 150 and the contact plug 180 and between the source/drain region 152 and the contact plug 180. Although not shown, a diffusion barrier layer surrounding side and bottom surfaces of the contact plug 180 may be disposed. The contact plug 180 may include W, Co, Cu, Al, Ti, Ta, TiN, TaN, or a combination thereof. The silicide layer 182 may include a material in which a silicon material is applied to a portion of the contact plug 180.

A contact insulating layer 184 may be disposed on the capping layer 170. The via V and the interconnects L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, and L may pass through the contact insulating layer 184. The via V may electrically connect the contact plug 180 and the interconnects L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, and L. A plurality of vias V may be connected to a contact plug 180 in the second horizontal direction D2. Each contact plug 180 may be connected to the interconnects L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, and L6 through the vias V. The interconnects L1, L2, and L3 may be electrically connected to each other. The interconnects L4, L5, and L6 may be electrically connected to each other. In an example embodiment, the interconnects L1, L2, L3 and the interconnects L4, L5, L6 may be integrated with each other. The contact insulating layer 184 may include a silicon oxide material. The vias V and the interconnects L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, and L may include W, Co, Cu, Al, or a combination thereof.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2A-2D, the semiconductor device 100 of the present disclosure may implement the resistor 106 in a surrounding gate structure with the channel layer 114 in the form of a nanosheet. Unlike the finFET device, the transistor with the channel layer 114 in the form of a nanosheet may arbitrarily change the width of the channel layer 114. For example, a width of the second horizontal direction D2 of the channel layer 114 shown in FIG. 2B may be arbitrarily changed, and a width of the second horizontal direction D2 of the doped region 150 may also be changed. Therefore, the resistor 106 with various resistances can be implemented.
